Partying with the Girls . . . and the Post-Preggo Pooch!

A friend of mine recently reached out to me on facebook and asked for some help styling an outfit for a girls' night.  The challenge she was facing is one that every mom on the planet faces at some point in her life . . . how to hide the post-partum pooch! 

I put together two looks (or actually three, since I gave two options in tops with the miniskirt) that would work to mask the belly and still allow her to feel like the hot mama she is!

 

The first look is built around a mini skirt, tights and heels, because that is what my friend was planning to wear and requested a top to match.  This look is all about the pop of color.  It's a fairly simple look, but the mini and sky-high heels, along with the pop of color, will allow any mom to feel like her pre-preggo self and have a good time with her girlfriends!  My personal favorite is the teal and black blazer.

And just because I like to go above and beyond (on anything that I think is fun), I put together a second look, too. =)

The key when putting together a look to mask that pregnancy pooch is to go with flowy tops that have a lot of fabric, like the two tops in the first look.  That both have gathered fronts that just kind of fall over your stomach.  The blazer will help to give the look definition and cinch in the waist a bit. 

I love the edginess in the accessories in the second look!  The leather wrap bracelets and tough statement rings would probably help me in my sleep-deprived haze as a new mom to feel like my old self again. ;)

So, what did you like to wear as a new mom to mask the post-partum pooch?  Or if you're not a mom, what do you think about these looks?
